Ron Ben-Israel Bakes a Cake to Celebrate the New Issue of Brides

The offices at Condé Nast were all abuzz today as Brides unveiled our new May cover! To celebrate, our friend Ron Ben-Israel of Ron Ben Israel Cakes whipped up a masterpiece creation complete with a life-like pair pearl studded Christian Louboutins, atop of shoe boxes from the likes of Carolina Herrera, Alexander McQueen's Snake Skin Knuckle Box Clutch, even a sparkly engagement ring, all resting on stacks of the brand-new May issue.

Dotting the creation was the May cover's featured flower: a Magnolia Blossom. It's simply stunning and was hard to imagine digging a fork into...until we were told what was inside: alternating vanilla and chocolate cake with Grand Marnier raspberry and dulce de leche buttercream.
